Engraving ceramic

Post by Rigsby »

Hello all new to forum and trying to work out how to engrave ceramic tiles. The tiles will be non glazed and never bigger than 152mm x 152mm - often only 55mm x 55mm. What kind of machine would I need?

Would a 40w machine be able to engrave to a depth of 1mm? I have seen machines that are 40w to 50w selling for £300.00 to £1100.00 are they powerful enough. This is for hobby work not a constand commercial production line system so the machine may only produce 20 tiles a month.
If anyone could give me any ideas if this would work I'd be greatful. I am totally new to this so don't know how feasible this is.

My guess is that non glazed is difficulty to engrave to a depth of 1mm.
Because of major,be at ease so.
